Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.14 and 3.6.x before 3.6.11, Thunderbird

before 3.0.9 and 3.1.x before 3.1.5, and SeaMonkey before 2.0.9

recognize a wildcard IP address in the subject's Common Name field of

to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by

a legitimate Certification Authority (CVE-2010-3170).
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Gopher

parser in Mozilla Firefox before 3.5.14 and 3.6.x before 3.6.11, and
